"I voted for Eugenijus Maldeikis’ report on the regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on EU financial support to projects in the field of energy.
I am delighted that a huge majority of Parliament (526 votes) voted in favour; they supported this document.
I would once more like to underline the importance of our decision.
Like Latvia, Estonia and Poland, my country, Lithuania, has already been part of the European Union in a political and economic sense for five years. However, in terms of energy it was and still is like an island, with no bridges linking it to the Community’s energy market.
With today’s decision the European Parliament allocated EUR 175 million towards the construction of an energy bridge, which will link Lithuania and Sweden.
Once this project has been realised, the countries in our region, which became EU Member States in 2004, will finally connect their energy markets to the Scandinavian states, and so to the EU market.
This is a fantastic project, a good beginning, and I would like to thank all of my colleagues who voted for it."@en1
